Pre-race routine:

Had 1/2 an English muffin and Vanilla yogur for breakfast. Had 1 Gu right before the race.
Event warmup:

Didn't really do any warm up... I planned it as a casual 6 mile training run really since I was going to run with Nicole.

Comments:

Felt fine, really not too bad considering the tough course. I had to hold back quite a bit to stick with Nicole, but it was important to her and she felt encouraged and did great!
Post race
Warm down:

Nothing really, had a 2 1/2 bananas and a bit of muffin, a water and a diet coke. Then we went and had breakfast at Mimi's about 1/2 hour later. Feel fine, just another 6 mile training run in the books.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Only my decision to stick with my wife for the entire race, which I don't regret one bit. :)

Event comments:

The water stations could have been spaced better. There were plenty early...up to about 5 or 6K, then nothing and there were several BIG hills in that last 2-3 miles where some water would have been great. Not sure what their thinking was there.

Performance: Good
Course: It was VERY hilly, and very loose dirt for most of the course making it very tough. I've never run an 10k entirely on dirt and it was tougher than I expected. Many of the hills were almost un-runnable and nearly everyone walked. But Nicole and I ran, even slowly we kept pumping.
